Frequency selectivity in the mammalian cochlea. (A) Three auditory nerve fiber tuning curves for in gerbil cochlea, threshold plotted against sound frequency, from reference [45]. (B) Somatic motility in OHCs: hair bundle stimulation elicits cell contraction (left); voltage-clamped rat OHC, decreases in length on depolarization (middle); immunogold labeling for prestin of OHC lateral wall in rat (right). (C) Frequency tuning curves measured using OCT for basilar and tectorial membrane of mouse cochlear apex, in eight 10 dB increments. Tuning is sharpest at lowest sound level.
